By its decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 93, the Conference of the Parties (COP) decided to provide a forum
on the impact of the implementation of response measures, and to that end requested the Chairs of the
Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological
Advice (SBSTA) to convene such a forum at the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth sessions of these
bodies, with the objective of developing a work programme under the subsidiary bodies to address this
impact, with a view to adopting, at the seventeenth session of the COP, modalities for the
operationalization of the work programme and a possible forum on response measures.

The COP invited Parties and relevant intergovernmental organizations to submit to the secretariat, by
28 March 2011, their views on the issues referred to in paragraph above for consideration by the SBI
and the SBSTA at their thirty-fourth sessions. These submissions are contained in document FCCC/SB/2011/MISC.2.
Submissions from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are listed below.
